Case: Obtained a veterinary practice licence for a clinic in the Zakarpattia region

Medical law
Reading time: 3 min.

The cancellation of veterinary practice declarations became a serious challenge for many veterinary clinics and outpatient facilities in Ukraine. Attempts to reissue authorisation documents independently often result in refusals, loss of time and forced suspension of business operations.

An LLC from the Zakarpattia region approached Prikhodko & Partners. The veterinary clinic not only treated pets but also actively cooperated with local communities. It provided the following range of services:

  • initial examination and therapeutic treatment of animals;
  • ultrasound diagnostics;
  • surgical procedures (including castration and sterilisation);
  • scheduled vaccination;
  • capture, sterilisation and temporary keeping of stray animals.

After veterinary declarations were abolished, the clinic attempted to obtain a veterinary practice licence independently through the Diia portal. However, due to an incorrectly prepared document package and errors in the submitted information, it received an official refusal from the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection. The business could not afford further downtime, so the owners sought professional assistance from our experts.

What our lawyers did after the refusal

We understood that every day of delay created reputational and financial risks for the clinic, so we acted as quickly as possible:

  1. conducted an urgent audit of the facility’s existing material and technical base;
  2. carefully reviewed the education and qualification documents of the veterinary doctors;
  3. corrected all inaccuracies that had caused the previous refusal in Diia;
  4. prepared the complete package of documents and ensured its submission to the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.

Result: lawful veterinary practice

Stage Result of cooperation with the lawyers
Submission of documents The package was accepted by the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection without any comments.
Obtaining the licence The clinic promptly obtained an indefinite veterinary practice licence on the first attempt.
Business status Lawful operations were restored, with no risk of fines or suspension of activities.

Therefore, legalising an animal care business requires a professional approach and knowledge of the current legal requirements. If you need reliable assistance in obtaining a veterinary practice licence, it is worth entrusting the matter to recognised experts. An official licence for veterinary clinics and outpatient facilities has become critically necessary, as a full veterinary licence after the cancellation of declarations is the only lawful way to continue operating without the risk of fines.

Independent attempts to complete the process often lead to technical and legal errors, resulting in a refusal in Diia for a veterinary licence. To avoid wasting time and money, a qualified medical lawyer can assist you. Prikhodko & Partners handles the entire scope of work on a turnkey basis. We successfully provide licensing support for LLCs and Sole Proprietorships, ensuring that the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection can make a positive licensing decision quickly and without bureaucratic obstacles.
